2001 NewEngland, Miami, New York Jets also in 2001 Chicago, GreenBay, and Tampa made it from the same division you were only 20 years off......

in 1998 4 teams from AFC East made the playoffs.

I don't think that is correct. Dallas, Washington and Philly all made it in 1992 that I know of off the top of my head. Philly and Washington won in the wildcard and then both lost in the divisional round to Dallas and San Fran, respectively.

I know the announcers said it is the first time it has happend under the current 8 division(4 teams per division) format. I am pretty sure the old AFC west had it happen a couple of times since 1981.

Dude..... There used to only be 3 divisons with 5 teams instead of 4 divisions with 4 teams in each conference... they changed this in the 2002 season. So learn the facts my friend.

Nope, he was correct.

They all suck? Then how are they among the top 6 in the NFC?

I think this shows more how the NFC East is a tough division. Any one of the NFC East teams (and maybe even the Skins) could have won the NFC West.
